99 Comment(s) for Manslaughter convictions in the 2009 stabbing of Tyson Edwards

Omg! Please let us know the sentence in this case. I want to be living in another country when they let Plow-man out. He will kill again and I will not be the next victim. Hope he gets exterminated before them. Roach

Um a screw up….. Not exactly… Let me just say in the concept of the Old Testament …. An eye for an eye….. Well if the Edwards family subscribes to the eye for an eye concept then they should know that one of the convicted men is already paying dearly with his own blood and health…..I’m thinking this is why “one” of them did not make it to the courtroom on the 14th for sentencing….. Hint hint wasn’t the white boy, No No, not No No either……

I agree. I also don’t want to debate this, not with you, and definitely not here. However, if it wasn’t for your “Obama!!!” cheering reply, I wouldn’t have even commented about this. Please don’t think that I’m singling you out or trying to trap you in some pointless back ‘n forth blog argument or something, because I’m not. And that other comment of mine directed toward you wasn’t a personal attack or a case of ‘I’m right, you’re wrong.’ I was, at the most basic, presenting some relevant information about Obama that I felt you (and other readers of your blog) should be aware of.

You personally like Obama better than Romney? Okay, that’s your choice. Personally, I hate them both. They’re both almost completely identical in policy regarding virtually all important domestic & international issues of finance/economy/civil liberties/war. But how could you realistically think Obama is “better”? Obama has killed [an estimated hundreds of] innocent little children and babies in countries that have not attacked the US and were not participants in 9/11. In effect, non-terrorists and not militants.

Those kind of unprovoked child killing are generally regarded internationally and domestically as War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

So I ask this, think to yourself: Why would you choose Obama as being “better”? Obama is a certified child and baby killer. If he wasn’t the US President, for those crimes, he’d probably already be serving dozens and dozens of consecutive life sentences for murder of, at the least, dozens and dozens of innocent kids. Or, if he was in a US state that sentences with ‘special circumstances,’ he’d be on the condemned “men” row.

What’s even worse (if that’s possible,) is that he’s also the 2009 Nobel peace prize laureate. So essentially, killing scores of innocent children and babies is now pro-peace? With that logic/mindstate, I should go kill your neighbors’ innocent kids (thinking of my neighborhood and your neighborhood as different countries) by blowing them up with pipebombs. Where’s my plaque, award and million dollar Nobel prize money?

In that hypothetical, I kill kids, too. In reality, I don’t; Obama does.

Obama was elected in 2008 because he was going to be the strong pro-peace, anti-war and strong pro-civil liberties candidate. He was going to be the counter “answer” to the piece of sh!t George W. Bush’s reign of terror domestically and internationally. But then Obama got elected and reneged by doing almost the complete opposite of his campaign rhetoric and promises. So he’s now a liar and a drone srike child killer. In other words, he’s a lying f*cking piece of sh!t coward.

Obama has been the worst US president in history regarding civil liberties; he’s escalated the drone strike “war” by more than 4x what Bush was doing/killing; he took the troops out of Iraq (to “end the war”) and sent the majority to Afghanistan (in Obama/Bush/Romney terms, that’s ‘bringing the troops home,’) and he’s killed thousands of innocent people (including, by even conservative estimates, hundreds of little children and babies) in targetted drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Libya. And that’s to name just a few of his atrocities.

Romney – who is also a lying piece of sh!t and worthless, who I also completely hate – has not actually killed any innocent children and babies (that we know of.) So how is Obama better than Romney? Obama kills lots of innocent kids; Romney hasn’t killed ANY. And let me state again, I hate Romney, he’s a lying piece of sh!t, too. So I’m not choosing sides – I hate them both.

Again, Obama is not “better,” he’s 100% way worse than Romney will ever be, namely because Romney will never be US President, but Obama has been/is, and has actually killed innocent little kids – a lot of them. So that “better” opinion of yours is confusing to me, and it isn’t a problem of “intelligence,” my IQ is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than average.

From what I’ve read about/from you, what I personally think of you, and what I intuitively feel about you, you’re a very good person. Also, you essentially hate the gangsters and criminals you report on. The kicker is, Obama, in reality is 1000%x worse than all the “local” gangsters (and their crimes) that you report on, combined.

How many local gangsters are killing little children and babies? I have no information that there have been any such instances, so my question is part rhetorical and part inquisitive. Obama has, however, killed possibly hundreds of little innocent children and babies and definitely thousands of innocent teenage and adult civilians. That’s worse than all local gangsters you report on, by at least 1000%x+.

In my, and many others’ opinion, the only things Obama has going for him are the following: a) he’s charismatic; b) he knows how to speak eloquently; c) he knows how to read pre-written speeches (constructed by his staff) from his printed notes and angled glass teleprompters (that you see to the sides of his podium(s) at the WH, for example) and; d) he’s a “good” liar. He’s like some kind of illusion of good, when in reality he’s one of the worst people on the planet.

Are you writing a novel? Whoa. This is not the forum for this debate. Have some respect and a little more class. Someone died here, and a family is missing they’re boy! Some cops worked hard for almost 4 years to bring justice. I’m not minimizing your topics but just the same you won’t find me heartlessly spilling my political jargon and speculation all over a blog and disrespecting people.

I had a dream!!!!!! When Harper falls, the trudeau government will covet the best growers, give them compensation plans like teachers with pensions after 30 years and death benefits if u get shot during a rip attempt

i been alot of places. but i have to say bc and the type of clones that say goof here sound and act like fucking CRACKERS! dont matter what your race is. in the states you can call out races for trying to be like or sound like blacks but here man you are all the same! you all sound like peckerwoods lol thats gotta suck!

Hey Kim, first comment. I like your blog, you’re usually a very good reporter.
I just read your cheering “Obama!!!” comment. I have to say what-the-f*ck?
Are you aware that Obama kills children, toddlers and babies? A lot of them?
Here is a “great” Obama image (a “great” world “leader”) from the Economist:

If you have the stomach for it, please go to Google Images and search this:
“Obama Drone Strikes Children” Set your Safe Search to ‘Off’.
Look at just some of the innocent little babies, toddlers and children
with their bones and internal organs crushed from blast waves, others
with their faces, heads or limbs blown off, others burned beyond recognition.
Little innocent dead children and babies, murdered by Obama and his cowardly
UAV pilots located in secure “combat” rooms in the US. They kill little babies
and children in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen, under Obama’s direct order.
Did you know these things? You shouldn’t cheer Obama. You’re better than that.
By the way, I hate Romney. But Obama’s 100% way worse than Romney:
Obama’s actually murdered little children and babies in targetted drone strikes.
And other little innocent babies and children killed in Libya by NATO/US (Obama)
YouTube: “NATO Commiting Crimes Against Humanity by Killing Libyan Children”
Poor little girl with her entire body blown off, just a fraction of her skull left.
And all those images are just some. There have been many more murdered.
Kim, please don’t reply with a superficial answer or comment, such as
“Obama’s keeping us safe” or “terrorists” or something else equally ridiculous.
Little babies and children aren’t terrorists, and that isn’t “keeping us safe.”
Obama is a little innocent children and baby killer piece of sh!t worthless creep.

Since I might not comment further at this site, I’ll finish with this. My favorite politician and one of my favorite people of all time, Ron Paul delivering an epic 2009 speech titled “What If?” I recommend listening loudly. My favorite quote @2:00
“What if the american people woke up & understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propganda, in order to serve ‘special interests’ (ie. multibillion dollar war profiteering “defense” contractors.)”

oh my you people are way off, war is war, Obama did best he could to limit deaths on inncents. You are acting like it was obamas group that started this war, when it in fact it was left to him by the republicans BUSH! and if the other guy would of gitot in it would a of been a really smart BUSH! and world war t=3 might of happened you have no idea what you are talking about so best not even speak!

Well Mike….thanks to the well meaning voters in Washington….THEY JUST FUCKED THINGS UP FOR CANADA NOW TOO…watch the moronic animals do the ‘run ups to the face with a bullet’ THINKING they can make all the money selling pot west to east.

We seriously need to let Harper and Baird for that matter that they are NOT representing the majority of Canadians on drugs.

I simply noted Obama as the US winner. I like him better than Romney, but I am not American and don’t get a vote in that country. And I often disagree with US actions abroad. Beyond that, it is not something I am going to debate with you on a blog about something else.

and thank god you can’t vote because people like you are ruining everything, people trying to start up small businesses are fucked now, and getting the economy going are done for. but i guess gay marriage, smoking weed, and not working is more important then the economy. watch 2016 obamas america documentary maybe that will change your opinion.

Hey kim what is a good goverment website to search for peoples upcoming and recent court dates and crimes. Is there any website out there we can look up people who have been convcited of crimes, and to be able to maybe find where abouts of them?

Too bad Harper’s Canada’s answer to Hitler… As of today 6 plants (even shitty little male plants) gets you a year minimum… Harper is turning Canada into the states and Obama is turning the states into old canada

Legalizing pot wil be stupid. I am happy with the price and quality of weed I get right now. If weed is legalzied it will be grown by big tobacco companies, and do you think they give a shit about all the chemicals and garbage they will be putting in it to turn a profit????? The quality and cleanliness of weed will go down and the price for pwrsonal use will go up. Think about it, not only will government be putting their tax on it, but these big tobacco companies who have to pay thousands of employees will make sure they are making a hefty profit just like they make on tobacco. Keep weed they way it is, because only a couple people are profiting from weed sales when yyou buy from your local dealer, which in turn keeps prices at a stabilized price. Are potters really that stupid??? This just shows you that weed actually does make you less smarter, people are not thinking of the consequences of making weed legal. Keep weed natural!!! And out of hands of government, they always seem to fuck shit up. Also, do you know how much alcohal costs right now on the streets by people who are getting it in containers and selling it without government tax??? A hell of a lot cheaper than government liquor store prices. All potters will royally fuck themselves if they allow government to control and tax their weed

You are spealking out of both sides of your mouh man. Like alcohol, there will be cheaper alternatives such as the guys sellling alcohol in containters you mentioned.

Even though I don’t see it going down as you do, I would certainly rather have tobacco companies and the like get rich and tax this stuff then have profits go to gangs (encouraging their growth). Mostly they just need to legalize it so it’s not crazy profitable for the bad guys.

Bad guys?? More people are dying because of tabacco companies than drug dealers in canada. Just because the government endorses these people you think they are the good guys?? You wanna see the tobacco companies get rich??? Hahah you dumbass tey are already multi-billionnaires

You are not getting it. People are going to do to themselves what they want, clearly making any sort of drug illigal doesn’t work in these terms. Poeple do drugs, illegial or not, in every city and town in the world.

If you are asking if I would rather see companies that pay tax and provide legit jobs handle this stuff then then criminals, my answer is YES. And you? I would love to hear how you see a solution.

Who cares who squealed … If it was your brother, best friend or father who was murdered would you really give a damn about who squealed. For Frick sakes! Who gives a shyt. What’s done is done, and now ppl have to pay the price for what they did.

I don’t think the police needed his statement to convict the others, there was video and may witnesses that testified. I think he just lucked out with the location of cameras. He must have assaulted Tyson to even be charged in the first place, so I feel that he shouldn’t have walked. He’s one lucky fucker, if I were him I’d leave town. Everyone is going to assume he ratted regardless. Why would no no go after P?

I agree but it there has been rare cases where a blow or boot to the head can result in unintended death! Hopefully the rest of the Plowmans/Wilson realize this and think twice before ganging up on people.
Tyson died as a result of being stabbed! The forth guy did take part in assaulting him, I am 100% sure of that. Who stabbed Tyson is still a mystery because he wasn’t stabbed with three separate knifes!!! Onlookers said that they didn’t see anyone waving a knife, it just looked like all four were punching him. It is very easy to conceal a knife. This is why three people were convicted and not one.
I still think the man who got off should’ve received something for his part on this! There was most def enough witness who cooperated and video footage. The cops wouldn’t of needed him for shit!

Plum, I’m guessing the 4th one talked “off the record”.
Police were prob. All for it since he has been a pais informant in the past.
Practically career informer if u really wanna be clear.
But nice to see the pile of poop Plow catch a Guilty. Hope you are well received when you land. Bet no no eff’s you up good.
Please don’t cry at sentence time. Bet judge bang out 10 years min!

Um settle down? Really? So if it was your 14 or 15 year old daughter, sister, niece or whatever…. But she is gettin pimped by this predator you gonna say settle down? That is what this guy does….
Has sex with and pimps little girls… This is 100% true

why no pictures of these guys kim?
Can you please be there for sentencing…..Nov 14ht ;-)
get us some good pics.
I want you to post the one where Mr. Plowed-bi-man Gets all misty eyed and begins to sob!

Parking $12
Drinks at the Bar $75
Seeing this d.b. crying in court….Priceless!

I’ll pray extra hard tonight and thank god for sending you to jail for this horrible crime. I hope you get 15 years!!!

I am not naive, but I have covered court cases in BC for 28 years and what you allege does NOT happen. What good is a secretly cooperating accused who doesn’t testify? Police IDed the suspects from video – they didn’t need inside info for that.

“And why wouldn’t the journalist focus on the mother, who has lost her only child.”

Um… yeah, kim, that’s the WHOLE point here. I think everyone’s saying that the mother is the most compelling part of the story, so it makes sense to focus on her. But the lede doesn’t do that. It’s bland and reduces the impact produce from the picture.

You seem to be talking out of both sides of your mouth here, Kim. On the one hand you say there are no angles, on the other you say it makes sense to focus on the mother. Angle is just a synonym for the focus or theme of an article. Try your best to keep up, OK?

Perhaps I didn’t get the criticism. I’m out of town and not following that closely. I thought someone was slagging the reporter’s lede and the focus on the mom. Keith is often filing three stories a day on deadline so he is going to get the info to you quickly and accurately – they were convicted. That was the breaking new. And he added comments from the mom.

I’m happy with the coverage. Thanks to all who reported in light of other major news same day. I am looking forward to sentencing, and I hope that the media has held back with a “big” story for that day. I think the public deserves to see exactly who these guilty men are, so I hope the media does it’s best to provide us with photos. Now we must trust our justice system will deliver an acceptable sentence. No matter what the sentence is I hope the media is there to deliver a story we can hold our heads high to. Don’t let us down.

thankyou for everything you do!!! People will always critique every story put out there. How tiring!!!! If they don’t like your reporting or your colleagues reporting in your much deserved absence then I suggest they stay off YOUR blog!
Also thanks for clarifying the whole ratting debate! People just don’t get that telling the truth and being remorseful is admirable! The forth guy just got lucky and was acquitted because of lack of evidence not because he cooperated. He didn’t have a ban imposed this whole time which he would’ve demanded one to protect his family name prior to talking. No one can really be sure who held that knife but at least two out of three will now do some big boy time because of their guilt by association.

also I don’t feel these assholes deserve to have their photos posted! The public won’t need to worry about them for many years. I would rather see a nice picture of Tyson!
I would like to see a picture of the accused after serving a decade when their parole gets denied! When they are integrated into the community in a half way house, when all they want to do is hide! The last thing their going to want then is a public warning.
I never want to see any of those ugly faces again actually!
If anyone wants to see the man acquitted he had fb in his name, he is the smaller guy in the profile pic.

A court date is terrible because the family and close friends have to go through the actual night all over again. Every detail is sometimes repeated to the judge, crown counsel and defense counsel. No one wants to go through this part. Bar violence has happened for decades. I hope that others might learn from this horrible situation…Drinking & socializing then go home! No fighting! It could be the last time that you see your family!
